Using a Unicode string in cobol... 2

[C2GUICOBOL]

Hello,

I want to declare a Unicode string in my cobol program, the
required size for that string would be a WCHAR variable in
the C++ header file, I am able to declare that datatype for
my Unicode string, however, I am unable to use a PIC clause
to indicate the size of that string. Can you please help?
I am using micro focus cobol compiler (NE 3.0) with win2k.

here is the cobol code:

Working-Storage Section.
77 WCHAR typedef pic xx.

01 MyUnicodeString WCHAR.

thanks a lot.

Check out the N/E documentation for

PIC N

and

USAGE NATIONAL

(you don't need to create a TYPEDEF - unless you really want to).

You should also check out the
NATIONAL-OF
and
DISPLAY-OF

intrinsic functions for converting to and from UNICODE
